update: obf june swap - gettin' dirty - thread 2
Comments (60)Dearest Remy, my heart is hurting for you about Creton. I know that you will be giving him lots of extra love and attention. I was in your situation a little over a year ago with my kitty, Kiki. I cried lots of tears, too. I DO want to thank you for the treMENdous box of plants that you sent. Again, I am just bowled over by your giving spirit. Roses! Oh, how I love roses! I have a special area that I have set aside for roses. It's a sort of memory garden to honor the wonderful lady who sold us our piece of heaven. Mildred, our landlady when we farmed, sold us land that had been in her family for 100 years. People just don't do that here in Iowa, but she did, and we will always love her for it. She was a "rose" person. Thus, my rose garden. Thank you for the roses Belle de Crecy and Rosa Glauca. Thank you also for these: -Campanula persifolia-pics of it look so pretty. -Iris flavescens-another beauty! -Geranium 'Biokovo'-I have started collecting these kinds of geranums and have them planted on the west side of our home on a small slope. -Salvia transylvanica-the blue color in pics is my favorite color of blue -Candy lilies-anxious to see color(s) -Veronica gentianoides-another pretty color -Sedum album-I looked this one up and the plantfiles called it "Chunky Fingers!" LOL That's just how it looks, too. -Tradescantia 'Bilberry Ice'-I don't have this one and have been wanting it. Thanks! -Euonymus--looks very interesting. Can't say that I have seen it but am looking forward to what it will look like. -And the goody packet of BEAUTIFUL Angel stickers! I LOVE them!!! Gardeners hand lotion, Spring Cherry flavored green tea, and I thought it was GREAT that you sent the single serving packet of Tide!!! LOLOL Just what I need to wash my dirty, stinky gardening clothes in. Remy, you have again blessed me with more of your garden. "You" will be all over my place, and I love that thought. Thank you sooooo verrrrry much!!! Many HUGS, Mary Ellen...See MoreNEW: obf - junes white elephant plant swap (2)
Comments (150)I just received the most WONDERFUL box from Miss Sue! It was so big, it took 2 kids to carry it. :) And MERCY, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw how much it cost to mail! Prices are getting ridiculous!! I tried to keep track of everything as I unwrapped them, but I had 4 little helpers (the girls helped me...the boys couldn't have cared less- they know they're going to be recruited to help plant later on! LoL!) so I didn't get everything written down. But everything looks great, nothing is wilted! Which was SO surprising, considering the heat! I know there were 2 mini roses, red & blue salvia, many daylilies, 6 succulents, dianthus, lantana, rosemary & lavender. The rosemary & lavender made the box smell SOOOO good! If I've forgotten to mention anything, please forgive me! Thank you SO MUCH, Miss Sue! You outdid yourself with a WONDERFUL box, and I absolutely LOVE everything!...See Moreupdate: part 2 obf june's special friend swap

Comments (396)I will be sending out all the prizes today, so everyone start looking for them in a couple days. Please post here when you have received your prize so I know everyone has received theirs. Winners of the games. Sign up game - Mary Fill in the Blanks - Nicole Sent and received. Dog/Cat - Mary Pet Bingo - Promise Big Wind - Erica 2nd Fill in the Blanks - Nikki Shirley, I'm so happy you were given the ok to walk on your foot. I know some days will be very trying for you, but here is some advice I was given ... Take it one day or one hour or one minute at a time. Keep breathing. If you can, journal about your struggle. Once in a while look back at your journal, sometimes that is the only way to see your true progress. Truly, this advice has worked for me. Beautiful pictures everyone. My garden is in full bloom and I'm loving it! Margo, a wedding in 2 months ... how wonderful! Nikki, keep looking, you will find it. We had a wonderful 4th of July Week. We were at the cottage with friends and family. It was a very FULL week. We had a Birthday, Graduation, and a an Engagement to celebrate and of course the 4th! Our daughter made it in from Boston for a couple of days ... that was the best part! Been missing all of you these last couple of days ... seems so funny after a month of being here everyday. sharon...See MoreSoLovelyLily
